Join us on a brief tour through the oldest city in the world and the majestic land that surrounds it, and get a glimpse of the flora and fauna that dwell in this ancient domain. High above the jungle canopies, the Golden Throne serves as Zuldazar\u2019s city center, with some of the most breathtaking views in the region. It is from here that Rastakhan, king of the Zandalari, rules. A vast, ancient cityscape of interconnected terraces sprawls out below, dotted with temples devoted to the loa, which are maintained by their loyal servants.Welcome to Zuldazar. Things aren\u2019t as they should be in the great empire. The land is charged with dark secrets, and rumors of a rebellion swirl. As a representative of the Horde, you\u2019ll need to earn the trust of King Rastakhan and the Zanchuli Council to gain access to Zuldazar\u2019s resources and superior naval force. The Horde\u2019s war efforts depend on it.Visitors can find anything they need for an extended stay in the heart of Dazar\u2019alor at the center of the city. Facilities include an inn, portals to all major Horde cities along with Dalaran, profession trainers, a bank, training dummies, vendors, and more. It\u2019s easy to get lost this ancient, multileveled city\u2014but that only emphasizes its vastness and grandeur. Watch Your Step\rIf you\u2019re determined to explore the city and its surrounding areas, you\u2019ll want to pack your walking shoes and bring a well-rested mount. There are thousands of steps throughout Zuldazar. Just be careful to keep an eye out or you\u2019ll plummet into one of the many thunderous waterfalls surrounding the city. But the view is breathtaking! Things to Try: Take a ride on a Caravan Brutosaur! Trained to haul goods throughout Zuldazar, Brutosaurs offer a slow but steady ride around the city\u2019s terraces. \r A Shrine to the Loa\rWorshipped as deities by the Zandalar trolls, loa are Wild Gods\u2014or spirits of Azeroth. Many of the temples dedicated to these deities can be often found on high ground or mountain peaks, which are viewed as sacred ground by the devout.\r\rDid you know? Atal\u2019ai means \u201cthe devoted ones\u201d in Zandali. In the southern part of city at its lowest point, you\u2019ll find the expansive Port of Zandalar. It is here that the Zandalari berth their mighty fleet and traders from around Azeroth sell their wares and services.For those of sufficient might (level 115) and have completed an introductory quest, Captain Rez\u2019okun will facilitate access to Island Expeditions from the Expedition Map.\rThe Savage SurroundingsZandalar\u2019s rich tapestry of flora and fauna deserve research and cataloguing. The Zandalari have shown themselves to be able beast masters, having domesticated many of the creatures that roam the land. Some of these serve as helpful allies to the Zandalari; others prove obstacles to those who would seek to exploit the jungle\u2019s resources. Tamed Ravasaurs, Brutosaurs, Pterrodax, and Direhorns make up just a portion of their menagerie. There are countless other wild beasts that make their homes in surrounding jungles, from Muddy Riverbeasts to Roaming Nibblers.\rTortollan Knowledge Is PowerBoth inside the city and beyond its borders, you\u2019ll encounter a new race: the tortollan. These ancient seekers are constantly in pursuit of knowledge and the acquisition of rare artifacts. They\u2019re always in need of brave souls to help them acquire what they seek. Aiding them can be risky, but ultimately it will be worth your while to have these erudite people on your side.\rWhere Kings LieIf you follow the Golden Road from the city and up into the mountains to the west, you\u2019ll eventually reach Atal\u2019Dazar. These ancient pyramids have served as the resting place for Zandalari kings for millennia. With each passing ruler, new rooms are constructed to house the deceased\u2019s vast wealth. \r Atal\u2019Dazar serves as the staging grounds for two new dungeons: Atal\u2019Dazar (exterior) and King\u2019s Rest (interior). A vast coastline surrounds Zuldazar to the south, east, and west, offering bountiful opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, and treasure hunting. To the north, the marshland of Nazmir awaits exploration, offering plenty of opportunities to earn your way into the good graces of the Zandalari.

I'm definitely going to play for two factions, but I still have not decided which one to start first. K'T have so deep and dark atmosphere with all that witchcraft and senseble presence of Old Gods, and Zand got this great cityes filled with maya-aztec-inca culture. Decisions, decisions... so hard to make chose.

Battle for Azeroth has such beautiful zones! Can't wait to explore them. I'm still wondering if they will keep the Zuldazar mountains looking weird, or if they'll give it more textures besides that green which makes them seem like a work in progress.

Tamed Brutosaurs eh?\r\r*rereads the sentence again*\r\rI\u2019ve been lied to.\r\rOther than that, I would have to agree with Meoligel...I just boosted an Alliance so I can (later on) delve into Kul Tiras. Really excited and really wanting to play as a Kul Tiran Druid Pirate.

Not even the trees since it\u2019s so moist. \r\rNow Boralus... That looks flammable alright. Plenty of wooden buildings!
